Chapter 457: One Hundred Secrets
Zong Zeming shook his head and said quite smugly: "No! There is something special about my memory, as long as I remember a person's face in my mind, after a few years, as long as it doesn't change much, I can remember it. If that person looks more distinctive, maybe he won't forget it for ten years. ”
Yes? Su Yizhao felt that this should be a talent.
"Did you see that man again?"
"Yes! Guess where I've seen him? Zong Zeming said mysteriously.
Su Yizhao thought for a while before replying, "Could this person be by my father's side?" ”
Zong Zeming was extremely surprised, "Can you guess this?" ”
"Not bad! Some time ago, I paid some attention to your father, because he was in contact with the people of the three princes, so I also paid special attention to the people around him. The man was a new face, and even though the name was different and the outfit was different, I recognized him by his face. ”
As he spoke, Zong Zeming took out two pieces of paper from his arms and put them on the bookcase, Su Yizhao opened it and saw that this piece of yellowed paper was a wanted notice seven years ago.
This person's name is Zhang Taiwan, aged thirty and four, from Jiading Mansion.
Looking at this person's appearance, the hair is very vigorous, the beard covers the face, and the eyes are very large.
There are no obvious facial features, and if you shave your beard, you are afraid that it will be another look.
Look at the other one, there is no introduction, only portraits. Comparing the two together, you can see some similarities between the eyebrows and eyes.
The person in this portrait has larger eyes, and is much thinner than Zhang Taiwan, with a Chinese face with sharp edges and corners.
"Zhang Taiwan has a fat head and big ears, maybe you don't feel like this person. But I have carefully compared the eyebrows and eyes of these two, and there are still many similarities. I have to say, if it weren't for me, few people would have linked these two together. ”
Su Yizhao pondered for a moment, and then said, "Maybe?" ”
"Ahh I mean, maybe, are these really two different people? It's not uncommon for people to be similar. Is it too hasty to judge the same person based on these alone? ”
It's not that Su Yizhao defended Su Wenqing, but these two people can only see such similarities, one is fat and the other is thin, this is a good explanation, but it can't guarantee that it is the same person!
This ancient world did not have the kind of high technology in the previous life, so categorical, is there something else to rely on?
Zong Zeming smiled, "Although I don't think I'll admit my mistake, I also understand that it's hard to convince you." ”
Then he took out a piece of paper from his bosom, "This is stolen from the file in the yamen, show it to you, and then return it." ”
Su Yizhao was a little speechless, and he said the stolen one so reasonably, and there was only this one.
I opened it and took a look at it, and found that it was a deed.
Look at the signatures below, it is actually Tang Mingxi and Zhang Taiwan, and there are also private seals and handprints.
The procedures are very complete, and looking at the content of the deed, it is exactly what happened when Tang Mingxi was deceived. In one transaction, the transaction amount is 238,000 taels of silver, which is a large amount.
The silver and the goods are in both directions, which is indicated on the deed.
"Later, Tang Mingxi found that the other party was shoddy, and he also used ordinary spices to pass off as precious spices, and I heard that many goods in the middle were opened, and they were full of hemp rope, where are the spices?" Zong Zeming said. …
Su Yizhao had also heard about this matter back then, after all, it was a big case that year, and he heard that the Tang family had lost nearly 300,000 taels in total.
The liquid amount of the merchant's family is 300,000 taels, which is already considered rich. Because the Tang family gave up the name of the imperial merchant before, and also broke away from the business registration, it was almost emptied of the family foundation.
After being exploited by the imperial court, there are still so many, isn't it just profound?
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, first they sighed that the Tang family was really low-key, and they actually had so much silver, and then they laughed at Tang Mingxi for being stupid.
The Tang family is a businessman's heirloom, and he was still an imperial merchant before, so he was able to plant a heel in the main spices.
Su Yizhao also listened to some gossip later, and it was rumored that Zhang Taiwan gave Tang Mingxi two beauties from the Western Regions at that time, and he was fascinated.
There is no need to say more about the rest of the matter, but is it just a trap?
I heard that the Tang family's wife had a fuss at that time, and Tang Mingxi was almost about to divorce his wife.
Su Yizhao was still very disdainful after knowing it, obviously Tang Mingxi made a mistake, and he actually dared to divorce his wife.
The Tang family has been in a slump since that time, Tang Mingxi can't turn over money, and he has sold several shops.
This matter spread everywhere in the market, and for a time the Tang family became famous.
In the past few years, the situation of the Tang family has gradually improved, but it is a pity that Tang Mingxi's eldest son is not successful, which caused the Tang family to lose a lot of money last year.
Tang Ao is not a reading material, so he took over the family business, last year because of lack of experience, listening to other people's pruning, hoarded a lot of outdated fabrics in the south of the Yangtze River, and lost tens of thousands of taels.
That batch of fabrics is still piled up in the warehouse, and it can only be disposed of at a reduced price, but it is silk, and if it is sold cheaply, it will be a loss. The colors are outdated, and these ladies in the capital don't buy it at all.
I have to say that making a living is full of pits, and Su Yizhao also lamented that the Tang family was really unlucky.
Wait a few more years, I am afraid that the Tang family will decline in the hands of Tang Mingxi, which shows how important it is to be a capable family head?
His thoughts returned to his eyes and he took another piece of paper handed over by Zong Zeming.
She suspected that Zong Zeming had a storage space like her, and this bosom was like a treasure chest.
"If you look at this one again, you'll see why I'm so sure."
Su Yizhao took a look and found that it was a white deed for renting a yard.
"His name is Bai Shulin now, do you see their handprints, are they the same?"
Su Yizhao immediately put the two together and compared them, and found that the handprints were exactly the same.
At this point, Su Yizhao had to admire Zong Zeming's talent, these two people were really the same person.
The white deed does not need to be reported to the government, and it is a kind of deed that spontaneously arises among the people. There is no need to pay taxes, and there is a constraint on both parties.
Of course, not paying taxes means not being protected by the government, but there are usually witnesses.
"He wouldn't have thought that after six or seven years, someone would still recognize him."
Su Yizhao sighed, a hundred secrets are sparse, and he will eventually suffer from it!
The wanted warrant from six years ago was naturally filed in the government. But this person's appearance has changed, and his name is different, how can others think that this person is a wanted criminal?
It's impossible for anyone to take their handprints to the government for comparison, right? Can those officials take care of you?
Zong Zeming said: "Actually, I felt strange about what happened back then. The Tang family has been making a living for so many years, is there no vigilance at all? What's more, the goods totaling nearly 300,000 taels before and after were actually exchanged under Tang Mingxi's nose? It's puzzling. ”
